Re: assests
It depends on what chapter is filed, the type of retirement, and the amount in the retirement, as well as numerous other factors. If your plan is ERISA-- qualified, it is exempt totally. If not, then it is exempt up to the amount reasonably necessary for your future maintenance and support. This obviously factors in your age, earning capacity, health, financial responsibilities, etc.
